The NA62 experiment at CERN: status and perspectives

Abstract

The future program of the NA62 experiment at CERN SPS is currently in advanced stage of development. The main goal of the experiment is to measure the branching ratio of the ultra-rare decay K^+ -> pi+ν\nubar, by detecting approximately 80 events with a background on the order of 10%. In the present paper, the motivation behind this measurement and the overall design strategy of the experiment are briefly outlined. The experiment's construction status is discussed and perspectives are given for the first runs with the new detector.
